Recommended Accelerator follow-up R&D: Milestone M2.6
/ Schulte, Daniel (CERN) ; Zimmermann, Frank (CERN)
This milestone documents the gaps between the results of the particle collider conceptual design study and the level of detail required to enter a project construction preparatory phase. This document establishes a portfolio of suggested R&D; topics related to the domain of particle collider design and associated technologies that need to be addressed with high priority in a follow-up project in order to come to a consistent and coherent design on which a project construction preparation can be based..CERN-ACC-2019-0046.-

High-field accelerator dipole conceptual design report: Milestone M5.4
/ Tommasini, Davide (CERN)
This milestone marks the consolidated design work consisting of drawings, functional and performance specifications for a dipole model sufficiently long (~1.5 m) to make relevant qualification measurements on performance, field quality and protection in a follow-up project. The design folder corresponding to this milestone has been published in deliverable D5.4..CERN-ACC-2019-0040.-

Initial guidelines for a social cost-benefit analysis of the FCC programme
/ Bastianin, Andrea (Università degli Studi di Milano - Bicocca, Italy) ; Florio, Massimo (Università degli Studi di Milano, Italy)
A fully-fledged Social Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of one of the Future Circular Collider Conceptual Design Report’s (FCC CDR) scenarios would require making assumptions on several key variables relating both with the costs and benefits generated by future research infrastructures (RI) over a very long time-span. Presenting results of such a comprehensive analysis is well beyond the scope of this report. [...] CERN-ACC-2019-0037.-
